+// The `run_dream_wave` tool — the seeded `perk learn dream` session's ONE blocking two-level
+// wave call (the audit/harvest shape: no guard state, no streaming pair, no retry).
+//
+// The tool takes NO parameters (the `run_audit_wave` posture, BOTH sides): the execute recovers
+// the session's claimed `run_id` from the rebuilt workflow-state and derives the ONE manifest
+// path `runScratchDir(run_id)/dream-manifest.json` — its manifest read AND its writes (the
+// fixed-name run-scratch bundle beside that manifest) are all derived from the claimed run,
+// so no caller-supplied path exists and a gated session cannot aim the reader or the writer
+// anywhere. A session with no run-scoped dream manifest is structurally refused `bad_state` —
+// only a `perk learn dream` launch plants one, so the tool is registered globally but
+// structurally unreachable outside a dream launch. That is what makes the `READ_ONLY_TOOLS`
+// membership safe (contracts.md §8.61).
+//
+// The sequence: the first-level analyst wave (strict) → the compact analyst bundle written
+// under the enforced aggregate byte budget → the three fixed reducer lanes — reducers launch
+// ONLY after a complete first wave and an in-budget write — then, only when BOTH waves
+// completed, the revalidation bracket against the manifest's stamped `commit_sha` (drift skips
+// the finalize AND the marker set — a drifted wave is structurally undraftable) and, bracket
+// ok, the finalize-in-place rewrite of the same fixed name (`finalizeDreamBundle`, the added
+// `reducers` section). Two writes of ONE name: the analyst write feeds the reducers; the
+// finalize rewrite is what the dream-report recovery consumes. The `dream_bundle_digest`
+// workflow-state marker is the recovery-side freshness authority: cleared unconditionally at
+// entry BEFORE the stale-bundle removal attempt (the invalidation record — a failed cleanup
+// leaves prior files behind, but recovery refuses them), set to the sha256 of the finalized
+// bytes only after the finalize write succeeds. Post-launch outcomes return ok with
+// `complete: false` (the audit posture); the TWO post-launch fail arms are the bundle-write
+// and finalize-write `io_error`s, whose extras retain the analyst analyses AND every
+// already-recorded attempt receipt. Analyst and reducer reports are untrusted DATA, re-decoded
+// in code before they reach the parent.

+ *     that cannot be VERIFIED (a false return) refuses `io_error` before any filesystem work
+ *     or spawn — proceeding could leave a prior bundle+digest pair recoverable as fresh;
+ *  2. entry-time bundle removal — the current-attempt-only invariant: the fixed name exists

+ *     stale prior bundle contradicting the returned aggregate, and after a write `io_error`

+ *  3. the strict analyst wave; incomplete ⇒ ok `complete: false` with `bundle: null` and
+ *     `skip_reason: "incomplete-analysis"` — no write, no reducer launch (marker stays
+ *     cleared);
+ *  4. compose + budget-check the bundle BEFORE reducer task composition; over budget ⇒ ok
+ *     `complete: false` with explicit `{bytes, budget_bytes, overflow_bytes}` accounting and
+ *     `skip_reason: "budget-exceeded"` — nothing written, no reducer launch;
+ *  5. the analyst-bundle write; a throw ⇒ the `io_error` fail arm retaining
+ *     `{analyses, attempts}`;
+ *  6. the reducer wave over the written bundle; an incomplete reducer wave leaves the
+ *     analyses-only bundle and a cleared marker (the finalized decode refuses it anyway);
+ *  7. only when BOTH waves completed: the revalidation bracket (`opts.bracket()` — required so
+ *     the compiler walks every call site to an explicit choice; production wires
+ *     `revalidationBracket` against the manifest's stamped `commit_sha`) runs BEFORE the
+ *     finalize write; drift ⇒ skip the finalize write AND `markers.set` (the entry clear
+ *     stands — recovery refuses the analyses-only bundle, so a drifted wave is structurally
+ *     undraftable), returning ok with `complete: false` and the bracket recorded;
+ *  8. bracket ok ⇒ the finalize-in-place rewrite of the same fixed name; a throw ⇒ the second
+ *     post-launch `io_error` fail arm (mirroring arm 5's extras); on success
+ *     `markers.set(digest)` with the sha256 of the finalized bytes — a failed set (an
